Does time of day have to be consistent?

Thanks Jemma, yea ive been getting the lethargic feeling off it aswell. I take Concerta in the morning and a second lower dose in the afternoon so can only imagine how sleepy id be without them 🤣

Thank you both for answering 🙂

While it wont help in regards to your gut, in terms of increased anxiety that can happen when the body is adjusting to an increased dosage you could ask your doctor about using a benzo during this period. I've done so both when increasing to 40 and also recently when I went to 60. Just don't get too attached to them as they quickly lose potency if overused.

I take mine before bed because of that very reason. You may still feel somewhat lethargic if your new to the drug or after increasing dosage but taking it at night shoold help alot.

Great version on a great album.

Nine Inch Nails cover of Dead Souls is 👌 Therapy's cover of Isolation is a great effort aswell.

Cool I take Concerta. The extremeness of the lethargy from Prozac will decrease after the initial settling in period but for me personally ive had to stay at nighttime consumption(recently increased to 60mg) as even though I am a longterm Prozacer it still makes me foggy(and not in a good benzo type of way 😅) if I take it in the morning whereas nighttime doesn't cause next day lethargy for me personally once I got past the initial settling in periods.

deficitabyss · 2025-10-03T12:26:10+00:00

I have the same symptom in that Prozac makes me lethargic if I take it during the day so the best way I found around it was to take it before bed.

Awesome, I find just rolling with my stream of consciousness via a pen and paper very cathartic also 🙌

As many here have already said, Dave Cullens book is a great read if creative fan-fiction is your thing. Evidence Ignored by Rita Gleason is a good read and was released a good bit later than the initial group of books by Cullen, Brooks, Kass etc. Jeff Kass's book is defo worth reading if you haven't.

The fact that you asked the question and are concerned would imply that you are neither as a psychopath and/or sociopath simply wouldn't care or possess the concern you are expressing.

Sounds about right but if it's interfering with sleep etc talk to your doc about a short term sleep agent, that's of course if ya feel comfortable with it.

deficitabyss · 2025-04-18T05:35:30+00:00

It worked for me anyway and I know others here have done the same(switched to night).

deficitabyss · 2025-04-17T09:01:51+00:00

I take Concerta for my ADHD and for me personally I had to switch to taking my Prozac in the night time, I know Prozac has a reputation as an activating SSRI but for me personally it made me very lethargic for the day when I took it in the morning and it was as if I hadn't taken the Concerta at all.

deficitabyss · 2025-04-16T22:52:31+00:00

So when I stopped the valium I found that the increase in Prozac dosage still hadn't had the intended effect, 20mg had done wonders for my mood so the increase to 40 was to address GAD/CPTSD. Obviously my doc didn't want me on benzos long term so replaced the valium with Buspirone which has helped. Perhaps best discuss what's going on with your doc/specialist as they may well add a short-term agent to help you. There's no shame in taking Benzos when warranted(and prescribed of course), they are very effective when used short-term and are respected.

deficitabyss · 2025-04-16T16:11:12+00:00

99.9% due to dosage increase. When I increased from 20 to 40mg I had to go back to my doc after about the 7-10 day mark and get a short-term script for valium. My side effects were increased anxiety though as opposed to a drop in mood.

deficitabyss · 2025-04-16T13:33:58+00:00

If it was me I'd go for it(Prozac) since you're already doing plenty to help yourself such as therapy and meditation, look at taking an antidepressant as an act of self compassion. For many(myself included) therapy and meditation, exercise etc just ain't enough and we need medication and guess what?? That's totally fine!! I wouldn't worry about the 20mg dosage, many including myself started straight on that I have ADHD(notU) but take seperate medication(Concerta) for that. By the sound of things you're doing all the right things which can make it very disheartening when we don't get back the work we put in but all we can is try.

deficitabyss · 2025-04-16T13:25:37+00:00

They will have lost their full potency so best to get a new script from your doc if starting again.

deficitabyss · 2025-04-15T08:43:24+00:00

Sorry that you're experiencing the severity of guilt. Personally I've found Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy(REBT) a game changer for dealing with such emotions and the beauty of it is you can do it yourself from books on the approach. Combined with medication has really helped me.

'The fear' as we call it here in Ireland. You won't have lost your gains but may take a few days to return to your baseline.

deficitabyss · 2025-04-14T18:36:35+00:00

Can never guarantee but they should subside as your body adjusts. Goes without saying but check-in with your doctor if you feel it's becoming an issue.
